You are misinterpreting what is written on that page. There is no need to create anything, nor is there a need to know about anything under \Device as that is the NT name not the POSIX name, and you're using POSIX dd. You simply use dd with the appropriate /dev/sd<letter><number>. You won't see them in ls but they are nonetheless present and work, like all the devices listed on that page. To find out the correct <letter>, look in the Logical Disk Manager service (can be accessed by running diskmgmt.msc). You will see each logical drive listed as "Disk 0", "Disk 1", etc. /dev/sda corresponds to Disk 0, /dev/sdb to Disk 1, and so on. /dev/sda is the whole drive, /dev/sda1 is the first partition of the drive, and so on.
